How to Send an Email Using BCC

When sending a message we often add the mailing group in the "TO" field, write the message, and click send.  While this process does work it tends to generate a lot of "REPLY ALL" messages.  

 

A quick tip that will help get your message out there while keeping everyone's inbox a little less cluttered is using the BCC field.  BCC stands for, Blind Carbon Copy.  This allows you to send a message to an address and the recipients are kept private from each other.

 

How do I work this wonderful email magic?

1. Open Gmail (http://mail.google.com) and click "Compose"
